WORLD FAMOUS STORIES SIR HUGH OF TABARIE SUB ROSA BY MIMIL Impromptu Entertainment BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER (MEDIEVAL ROMANCE) There is nothing that taxes the re- mources of a hostess more than enter- taining chance guests. Yet it is an interesting_challenge to her powers. To meet such emergencies it is well THERE MUST BE A TIME LIMIT ON THE GUESSING GAME DE- RIEED. have a few ideas in reserve for use hen the occasion demands. 1 refer not merely to entertaining a meal or at cards, but more in the ner of an informal party where s and stunts are in order. The given today can well be used at such time. Perhaps it is not Iy the guests who are unexpect- ed as much as the situation which Possibly plans for an outing have heen thwarted through the in- clemency of the weather or another reason, and the group assembied has t turn 1o some impromptu pleasure. A diverting game, “Sifting the News.” can be played when no other been prepared. The | re simple—a news- | each player, a paper person reads straight and pencil. On; To spend an occasiomal day all alone {and across three columns of a newspaper and the listeners try to get the gist of cach item. making notes ax aid to memory while the reading progresses. This is done slowly but continuously making no breaks to signify the end of a column. Of course, much of the fun is in_the reading ftself, which proves to be the height of inconsist- ency. Kven more amusing is it when the thread of an item in one column seems to be taken up in the next and twisted. Some sort of ridiculou: prize should be offered the one who is hest able to “sift” what the real “news” is, This should not attempt to he elahorate, although the presenta- tion of it can be as involved as one withes to add to the humor of the occasion. Another game which can be played any time anywhere, as it requires no equipment, has to do with familiar verses. Have each plaver recite four or more lines, omitting every other word, and let the rest of the players guess what the stanza is. The per- son who does the reciting with least hesitation and the one who guesses what the &tanza is are the winnei There must be a time limit in repeat- ing the verse. Put a eream hottle, pint size, on a table and supply the plavers with dried peas or heans. Standing at some specified spot. the players try to throw the peas or heans into the sottle. There can be various “strokes” employed. It may be a requirement to throw cne back hand, another over !the left shoulder, etc., for the sake | of variety. LITTLE BENNY RY LEE PAPE.
